Are the mane 6 going to keep using rainbow powers? I mean like, it only worked when they opend the box, and now the box turned into a castle. I think they'll keep using the elements, but without the gems... Or maybe something completely new

Supposedly, the original idea for the main sixes powers were a type of sailor moon transformation thing, no jewels involved.
Apparently the box gave them this power and as such, they will have the power to transform.
I've no clue if this is 100% true, but it fits. How and why they transform, and how long it takes to learn to do so, would probably be done over the length of the new season assuming it doesn't happen during the opening episode.

A lot of possibilities.

What about? The quality of the show? Big deal if it is in CGI animation! Since when did you have a problem with G1 and G3 anyway? Is it because it's girlish or something? Big Deal.

Oh no, the mannerism and construction of your last two posts, this one included, suggest a minor amount of hostility. Not that I'm saying you're angry or having a go at me, just that you're putting more stock into this conversation then I thought was worthy. I assume you're approaching this as though it was an argument though I can't phantom why.
Assuming that is the case then I find it unfortunate that there never was one on my end. As much as I enjoy constructive arguments and debates, to which I apologise.

All in all, we are really starting to drift away from the topic of the tread. Heh, pity the OSW is over, could have teamed up and done some quests and pointless adventures.

Let's just end it, right here alright. Because this is the truth. Hasbro has and will only care about the children. NOT THE ADULTS! This isn't Nintendo we are talking about you now.

Curious way to put it. I don't particularly care either way but I should probably point this out. Not anywhere did I state that the show was for the adults. I merely pointed out that they would be the most likely to complain if (and I stress the word if) a new series comes out.

I'm thinking that they needed Lauren Faust because she knew how to boost sales for MLP. I don't think Hasbro had really good ideas on how to reboot MLP again. After all, they tried with G3.5 and the majority of fans weren't happy about it. I believe Hasbro will try to prevent the Brony fandom from lasting any longer then the 2010s. They don't want anyone to be bullied and as far as I know, some have done some nasty stuff as well. I also think they care more about the young female audience (Ages 2-11 Years of age) then any other fan category for MLP. As I said, G5 might be like G2 and not have a TV series or animation AT ALL!!! Considering television isn't going to last beyond 2022 or something. I'd be shocked if an animated movie at least was released. Just keep in mind, if it does have a TV series expect it to be like Filly Funtasia.

No arguments from me, i suppose.

Original Characters / Re: The lowdown on Earth pony OCs

Spoiler: show

My Earth Pony OC designs. (Originally she was suppose to be a changeling but that got scrapped.)
Post Merge

I don't think that counts actually, unless if you say that you are related to almost every important character in the show like:

the niece Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, was babysitted by Cadance before, knew Shining Armour in Magic Kindergarten, is related to Starswirl the Bearded, were best friends with Fancy Pants when young, is the descendant of a legendary Alicorn who once saved the world from destruction

That is a true (as exaggerated as it is) Mary Sue e_e

Believe it or not, that doesn't count as Mary Sue. At least not the original meaning, anyway.

Originally, Mary Sue had little to no effect on a character design or back story. What it meant was that the character was perfect.
I don't mean in appearance either. I mean that the character never had to struggle to achieve anything. Everything is gained quickly and easily, every enemy, no matter how strong, is defeated without much or any effort.
That is a Mary Sue.

So your character could be the long lost sibling to Celestia and Luna with a deep rivalry/friendship to Discord, but so long as you write them well, so long as they struggle, lose, hurt, suffer, in a way that speaks to the reader, then you are nowhere near the Mary Sue category.
At least, not as the term originally meant.

Don't get your hopes up, Edanite. Nobody knows what G5 will have in store for us. It could be as good as G4, but then again it might not. I'm not even sure if G5 will even have a television series. If it does, It'll probably be animated in CGI animation and be a internet television series exclusively on Netflix or something. Because by the time G4 does end in 2019, The Hub might be on it's last leg. The idea of pay television and television in general is becoming more and more outdated and inefficient. Not to mention, Hasbro probably wouldn't fricken care to save the unexpected adult audience despite all the revenue it has produced over the last four years. It only cares that it gets a good reputation from female MLP fans and the general public. It'll be 500 years before ponies become more appropriate for everyone to enjoy.

Fair point. I don't have any real positive hopes or expectations for a series after the current. I fully expect that if we do, it would be a failed attempt (in regards to the older community). I'd expect it to drift closer to the earlier gens in execution then the current one.
But since I usually keep a low expectation for near everything, I'd be only indifferent in finding I'm correct, or pleasantly surprised when I'm wrong.

Be heart broken for a short while. Find something new and move on, eventually.
With any luck the next gen will be just as good as the current, if we get one.

There seems to be a distressing lack of the Element of Taco.
Hmmmmm, if I was to base myself on what most have refereed to me as, then it would be the Element of Kindness.
